vthe pair of rollers such as the rollers 5 Aouter and 6, means is provided for supporting each roller from one end only land in such a way that a pocket is formed in the adjacent end of the roller in which loose threads or lint may accumulate. At the other end of the roller there is no support about which the threads could tangle.

The general features of the roller mounting are the saine for both rollers. lVitliin the machine, there is provided supportingl means preferably in theI form of a vertical plate 17. The measuring rollei` construction and mounting includesan arbor 18, one

end of which is secured in the plate 17 by.

any suitable means such as screw threads I9, and this arbor projects substantially horizontally and coaxially into the measuring roller. The presser roller is also mounted upon an arbor 20 parallel with arbor 18, and this arboiis supported upon an arm 21, said arm being rigidly carried by a horizontal bar 22, vthe ends of which are provided with triuinions 23 and 24. The truniiion 24 is rotatably mounted in the plate 17 and the other is rotatably mounted in a hanger plate 25. These arbors operate to rotatably snpporttheir corresponding rollers, and it will be observed that each roller is supported near its onter'end and its wall projects toward the support 17 and overliangs thel supporting arbor, the outer wall ofthe roller being out of contact with the arbor. Each arbor is supported solely-at one end of the roller ^and simply projects into its roller, that is to say, it is unsupported at its outer end. The end of the roller 5 which is adjacent to the supporting' means 1'? is formed with an enlarged pocket 26 which is formed around the arbor 18, and in the roller 6 a pocket 27 is formed in the end adjacent to the supporting moans 17. 'llie roller 5 is provided with4 a transverse head 28 which is preferably disposed remote from the supporting means 17, and toward the outer end oi the, roller, and the arbor 18 is provided with ,mcans against whi-'h this head 28 seats. This means is preferably in the 'forni of a i illar 29, which is preferablyl counter-sunk ,'tlush into the .face ol the inner end or bottom ,31) ot this pocket 26 presents a ysnbstantially smooth sui-face. with this arrangementit is evideiitthat it' any pier-es ,of threads oi' lint become wrapped around the arbor 18 they can paSS into-tinporket 26 without interfering;r in any way with the bearingI ot' the roller` and on account, ol' the construction all. the inner end ol' the pocket, evidently they can not bei-nine entangled willi the roller even it' theyl pass away into the extreme inner end of the pocket. 'llie pocket y26 is preferably oi' tapered or conical i'oirn. lt will be seen that this roller is mounted so that no fixed may be provided transverse head $28, so that the parts are exposed -at the outer end of the roller, that is to say, all the exposed part-s at this point rotate with the roller.' In mounting the presser roller 6, a transverse head is provided indicated by 31, near the supporting means 17, and also a collar 32 on the arbor, which collar is countersunk flush into the face of this head. This roller another transverse head 33 in the outer face of which a washer 34 is counter-sunk where the arbor 20 passes through this head.

The varbors are provided respectively at their outer end with means such as the nut 85 or nut 36, for retaining the roller on its corresponding arbor. The transverse heads 31 and 33 of the presser-roller preferably seat against shoulders formed near the ends of the cylindrical or tubular body 37 of this roller. In order to enable roller 5 to drive the indicating mechanism, it is provided withha rigidly attached shaft 38 which passes coiixially through the arbor 18 and also through the supporting means 17 so as to rei'eive a gear wheel 39 for driving.: the gear train 16.
